In an increasingly hectic and digital world, the Newark Free Library provide a haven where people can feel welcomed, respected, and free to explore their interests and passions without judgment or discrimination from its staff. This place represents one of the few true accessible and inclusive spaces where folks can seek information, access educational resources, and connect with supportive networks. As bastions of inclusivity and diversity, libraries continue to serve as vital anchors in our communities, fostering understanding, empathy, and resilience among all who enter their doors. Support this library -- and all other local public libraries.

Cozy little small-town library!…read more Centrally located with plenty of parking and easily accessible, this little space has plenty going on. While the building might not hold a huge collection, the new book section is extensive and books on hold arrive fairly quickly from the Delaware Library network. I've taken a free craft class here and have send signage for plenty of kid & family friendly free events. The kids section looks large and there's rarely been a visit where I haven't seen some kind of family or kid event going on there so probably a great destination option. Librarians and staff are friendly and helpful and any checkout lines move very quickly. Pro tip: Sign up for their newsletter and you'll get a consistent reminder of all the events they have going!

It's pretty big & has many computers as well as the "den" area where there's plenty of kids toys. They print off their schedules for the month so you know exactly when all of the youth events are happening. My family & I love coming to the Bear Library!

Ever since I started at this school, every time they hear an accent, they give you the nastiest look. They treat me with disgust and make me feel like they don't want to give me attention or help me. They act like I don't belong here. Even their police department plays favorites. They want money, no matter how financially draining the decisions they make are going to be for you. I have never suffered from mental illness, but I can tell you that ever since I started at this school, I have been nothing but depressed, worried about how I am gonna get the money to register for classes. I wanna drop out, but I am already way too in, and they used to give some grants, but they removed that as well. They just want money. They don't care who has to die in order for them to get their money. Worst place ever!! Professors like to torment students! No matter what you do, you will find yourself drowning in debts. At this point, I don't even know if I will be able to complete my last year here. I am in that position where leaving is hard and staying is harder. I hope they burn in hell because that's where they belong.

Well in comparison…read moreto the network that makes up the Delaware Library System this one is better than some that I frequent but not among the best. The structure itself is beautiful but getting into the parking lot is tricky. The logical turn to enter the parking lot doesn't really take you to the librarys parking lot and there is no signage that could say "not this parking lot here, keep going straight and THEN turn in here" Inside there was plenty of lounge seating including a really cool bench that wrapped around a big column (someone should take a pic, I forgot) but the computer area was cramped. I found the books I was looking for with ease but honestly the real disappointment was the DVD collection. It could have been great but I'll never know because you can't simply browse the titles by scanning quickly with your eyeballs. No, the DVDs are in rows one in front of the other so you have use your fingers to flip through each stack to see exactly what is there and this includes multiple copies of the same title. Who has time for that????
